Hey people!

I have used an online service to do part of my work and then i gave it to my tutor to have a look (hard copy). im going to see her again on tuesday and im bit scared of the comments... i think the paper is not bad but im afraid if she asks me about the english written on the paper.. im not native speaker and i think the paper is pretty much looking from a native speaker...

any tips to help me out on that other then read read and read the paper before seeing her?

1. Make sure you actually KNOW what is written in the paper. Read it 5 times (and understand it, including all vocabulary).

2. Hopefully you have some reliable native English friend who, cough cough, was friendly enough to read and revise it for you.

You can't get any better advice. All I can add is that you should check out all the references used and try to explore more, just in case your lecturer wants to know why you did not use this journal or that book.

Also, try to find out other things that could have been added to the paper and make up excuses as to why 'you' did not include them.

they will be trying to prove you didn't write it. you are going to have to lie, and deny everything.

Well in!! In any case, you would want to feign naivety in as far as professional writing services are concerned. So, next time your teacher's talking about students using ghostwriters to get their papers done, just shake your head the whole time like you are in state of utter disbelief.

[Moved from]:

Is a research writing service even worth it?



SO far from what I've been reading it seems like nothing can be trusted and the risk is way more than the return.

I DO NOT want any recommendations, I just want to know what people think. Is it even worth it to try, or should I just rely on myself and the guarantee of a somewhat bad but not plagiarized essay?

-_- Not exactly the help I was looking for, but I will certainly go back and do some more research.

I get quite a few requests on the company boards from satisfied customers (and so do some other writers) and I've had more than a dozen private clients use me for their entire academic careers through 4 years of college or 2-3 years of graduate school. They all apparently think it's worth it. It's only a risk until you find a company you can trust and a specific writer whose work you like; after that, there's no longer any risk.

I have tried to use services with UKessays of the acedemic answers group and they are basically trying to rob me. They are the biggest name apparently and they are a nightmare so...................

In all, don't use these services unless you really really have to. Make no mistake though although you are the bill payer you are very much the scum.

The business and writer will be entirely difficult to talk with and make sure you are never being treated fairly.

AVOID at all costs. The work will not be of any use and it will cost you a fortune to be ripped off and put in a worse position.

True. Used ukessays once and made that the last time before going somewhere else. They charge ££££ but what they deliver is not worth what they charge. Paying so much for that kind of research work is worthless.

In instances such as these, it is best to create your cover before you go in to meet your tutor. One of the first things I would do is go to the Writing Center of the university and ask someone there to review my paper. The paper I would submit for review will be the very model paper that you are taking to the meeting with your tutor. Ask for help in further improving the language. That way, you can claim that you had professional help from university recommended assistance groups. I would also run the model paper through a free online editor such as Grammarly, just to make sure that you are not worried for nothing. Cut and paste the soft copy into the editing box and take note of the corrections the software may recommend, then make the changes. That will give you another reference point to point to in case the tutor asks why the paper sounds like a native speaker wrote it. Rather than making the tutor suspicious about the source of the paper, you will instead come across as a dedicated student who is willing to do the work, grammar-wise in order to come up to the academic standards of your university.

I have reason to believe that many clients hardly even bother to read the assignments that they purchase before they turn them in for credit; they just count the pages or words, maybe read the headings and subheadings, and lightly skim the actual essays. So, the first thing you should do is read the project thoroughly and make sure that you understand what each and every sentence means and also what each and every word means. You don't want to stare back at your tutor looking like a deer in headlights when asked what you meant by a particular sentence or word choice. However, don't expect your writer to appreciate emails from you asking to explain every word or sentence that you may not understand unless that was something you and your writer specifically agreed about in advance. Unless you tell us to write something at a very simple level, we write college essays and grad-school essays at the appropriate level for the assignment and we expect that our clients placing those orders are fully capable of reading and understanding any project they commission us to write. Just read your project line by line so you understand every argument and every point and look up any word that isn't in your vocabulary.

If you hired someone to write the paper for you, the first thing you should have clarified, and turned into a hard rule for the writing of your paper is that it must be written at an ESL level rather than at the native speaker level. That was your first mistake when you placed the order. The next mistake that you made was that you turned the paper over to your tutor without even reading the full paper. From what you read, you already knew that it was possible the paper was written at a level higher than yours. As your writer, I would have advised you to read the whole paper and change it to better sound you had written it. That includes having you rewrite certain parts of the paper to make it more believable. I would not advice using a cover story such as consulting with the writing center of your university because a quick consult with them will not result in a native English speaking writer level overnight.

The tutor will most likely be on to you unless you can develop a good explanation. One way of doing that would be to show the tutor that you have an account at say grammarly where you can upload the paper and get editing and correction advice based on a software. Tutors do not normally frown on the use of editing software, specially for ESL students. They believe that the software helps the student learn the English language so they have no problem with it. As long as you are on the level with your tutor and you admit to having had some sort of help in perfecting the grammar (not the writing of the paper), then everything should turn out fine.

This is no longer a fear among students these days. While most colleges and universities frown upon the use of AI for writing academic papers, they do allow the use of AI for the polishing of a student written draft paper. Therefore, the students today who might be questions because of their ESL grasp of the language can refer to AI editing of their paper to justify their grammatically correct writing in their papers. A writing tutor at the writing center of the university will accept this explanation.

As a writing professional, I have observed that students who outsource their assignments-whether to ghostwriters or AI-are almost invariably identified during their sessions at the writing center. The discrepancy is usually quite clear: authentic writing development is a gradual process, and a student's prose style simply does not leap to a professional or machine-perfect level overnight.

We frequently see this struggle with English Language Learners. While I don't harbor any personal judgment-I understand the immense pressure they feel to submit a polished paper-I have to be honest about the risks. Relying on external or artificial help might seem like a solution, but it ultimately bypasses the learning process.

My advice as a tutor is always the same: have confidence in your own voice. It is far more valuable to submit a paper that reflects your current abilities and shows incremental improvement than to present work that isn't yours. We are here to help you refine those skills, but that growth only happens when you are the one doing the writing. Personal effort, however imperfect, will always serve you better in the long run than a paid or generated shortcut.
